“The team is progressing nicely, our practices have become higher quality, and we have matured quite a bit competitively,” Seattle U head golf coach Marc Chandonnet said. “If we can keep on this pace, keep everyone excited and motivated, we should compete for a win at some point this year.”
Seattle University continues its fall season in the Pacific Northwest, making the short trip east to Sammamish, Wash., for the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational, hosted by the University of Washington at the Sahalee Country Club next Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 6-7.
